Women’s Group to the Oscars: Have All Women Presenters This Year
UltraViolet, a leading national women’s advocacy organization, is calling on the Oscars to have all-women presenters as this year’s award ceremony. The ask comes as Casey Affleck, a man with numerous accusations of sexual harassment and assault against him, is expected to present this year’s award for Best Actress.
Karin Roland, Chief Campaigns Officer for UltraViolet, explained:
“This year especially, the Oscars need to step up and demonstrate their commitment to women in Hollywood – and one, urgent and important step they can take is to commit to only having women present the awards this year.”
